In case you like bad singing without any filler, these “Song Quiz” clips of people who didn’t make it to the judges round in from Germany’s version of Idol are rather entertaining. You really can’t tell what they’re singing until it’s pointed out to you, and there’s no talking or commentary to sit through, just pure cringe-worthy tunes from people who waited hours for the privilege to sing them to the camera.
You do not need to know one word of German to thoroughly enjoy these clips from Deutschland sucht den Superstar. Bad singing and false pride are universal.
Andreas, “Everything I Do.”
Caroline, I don’t know what she’s signing, but she sure is scary
“Hot Stuff” Dennis
Nadine, “My Heart Will Go On”
Nicole, I have no idea what she’s singing
And here are two people who sort-of sing well and get denied:
This chick is from last season, but it’s precious how she gets all offended and tells the judge she can sing better than he can:
My husband and I have have been enjoying Germany’s version of Idol, Deutschland sucht den Superstar, and I was struck by how much this one chick, 18 year-old Lisa Bund, looks like Kelly Clarkson. She can sing too.
Drama on this year’s season of DSDS includes a candidate, Nico, who tearfully reveals he’s got narcolepsy when he’s cut from the competition, and a smoldering orphan with ice-blue eyes, Christian, who leaves on his own accord to spend more time with his wife and infant daughter.
There’s also a water-spraying incident by a guy who calls himself “Mr. Love” that’s suspiciously similar to something that went down on American Idol two years ago. Judge Dieter Bohlen uses the word “scheisse” several times while describing the guy’s performance, which is predictably German for “shit.”
And a woman shaking her tits singing about her pretty hair that’s so fun I couldn’t resist. Overall there’s a lot more T&A on Germany’s Idol, including kids stripping and showing their butts, but we get softcore stuff here on weekend nights, so that’s not surprising.
